  Each part of a multi-part MIME email can now be shown or hidden using
  the button at the top of each part (by pressing RET on it or by
  clicking).  For emails with multiple alternative formats (e.g., plain
  text and HTML), only the preferred format is shown initially, but
  other formats can be shown using their part buttons.  To control the
  behavior of this, see `notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged` and
  `notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts`.

?  I intentionally downplayed
notmuch-show-all-multipart/alternative-parts relative to your
description because I would love for people to forget about that
setting so we can eventually drop it.
